2000 update tickets support, 6000 words probably should be fine, it depends on whether the writing is good. I don’t want to fill more water just because of the word count. I’d better spare me if I get 12000. I really can’t do it… By the way, didn’t Qidian say that the update ticket was cancelled? Can you still vote for it for Mao?

After the update ticket system is cancelled, it will be converted into Qidian coins and returned to the two digits.)
Fang Shiyu's performance was beyond everyone's expectations.
After all, he was very excited the moment before, and suddenly refused after turning around, which made everyone present puzzled.
Wang Sancai didn't expect Fang Shiyu to suddenly change his mind, but he heard that Fang Shiyu's tone was not that kind of tough rejection, but like a choice made in helplessness, he couldn't help but wonder: "What? Don't you want to get rid of your current life? Or do you think it's better to be a bandit leader than to follow me as a little person?"
"No, absolutely not! Please don't get me wrong!!" Fang Shiyu quickly explained: "I really want to go with you, but I really can't."
"Oh?" Wang Sancai blinked: "I want to hear what you mean."
Fang Shiyu sighed, worried that Wang Sancai would misunderstand his meaning, so he walked to Wang Sancai and turned to face the village, his tone became complicated: "That's right, I think no one wants to live a long and restless meal. Every day, he eats the last meal and is worried about the next meal. I don't mean to dislike your identity. Actually, I still don't know who you are, but to me, you must be a big shot."
"Speak on." Wang Sancai found that the bandit leader had clear logical thinking, so he smiled kindly.
Even Mr. Hai, who was standing beside him, had a vague change in his eyes when he looked at Fang Shiyu.
Fang Shiyu didn't notice these details. He sighed heavily, looked at his small village with nostalgia, his eyes flashing: "I was poor when I walked out of the slum. At that time, I couldn't even find a decent wooden stick, let alone the decent weapon in my hand now."
He looked down at the machete in his hand, raised his head again and looked at the village: "This village was built by my brothers and I, day by day, and all the weapons were picked up day by day. I watched the village be built day by day, watching our number grow day by day, and seeing our weapons and clothes grow day by day, of course, we also face more stomachs that need to be filled... I took in any refugees and poor people who wanted to survive, led them to try every means to fill their stomachs, and watched them put their hopes on me... And now, I finally encountered the opportunity to live the life I wanted..."
Speaking of this, he smiled self-deprecatingly: "But I suddenly realized that I really can't do it to let me abandon them selfishly! I can't do it at all! Although I have no ability, it's a problem to keep them full and warm, they are all brothers who have shared the joys and sorrows with me! I suddenly thought, what should they do if I leave? Where should the hope they have always placed on me?"
Following his gaze, Wang Sancai discovered that although the bandits standing in several rows opposite were unclothed, their bodies were thin, and their faces were confused and timid, they looked at themselves... No, it should be said that the gaze they cast at Fang Shiyu was full of desire.
Wang Sancai suddenly realized that the low-ranking bandits on the opposite side might be extremely afraid of cultivators like him, but for their leaders, their village leaders, and their bosses handed over everything they had. They believed in Fang Shiyu, and even Fang Shiyu was a kind of support and sustenance in their hearts, and they could not live without Fang Shiyu.
This is the meaning of a leader's existence.
"Although I am just a terrible bandit leader, I really can't do anything to enjoy wealth and glory by myself, but I abandon my brothers who were born and die together, because when I think about my future food and clothing, I will think about whether they who followed me believed in me still live in this world."
Fang Shiyu was a little excited: "Since I gave them hope and since they trust me, I should continue to keep my hope. I have the responsibility to continue to be their village leader, rather than the yin* who cannot withstand the glory and wealth."
Wang Sancai didn't expect that a bandit leader who was born in a slum and had no education would say such words. He was stunned for a moment.
Instead, Mr. Hai took the initiative to step forward, looking at Fang Shiyu's eyes with a faint appreciation: "Well said it! You have this awareness, which is already stronger than all the bandit leaders, and it can even be said that many people are stronger. Although your status is low, you have to bow your head many times, but you are a real man! You are a man!!"
Mr. Hai's praise was not stingy at all, which made Wang Sancai a little surprised that this arrogant person would take the initiative to praise a small bandit.
He stepped forward and walked to Fang Shiyu, but did not say anything praise like Mr. Hai, but said seriously with the purpose of testing: "Sometimes, you must make a choice between dilemma. Further, wealth and honor are recruiting you. If you take a step back, you will still be a hard life of not having enough food to sleep."
Fang Shiyu cast a grateful look at Mr. Hai, but did not flatter him at all. He looked neither humble nor arrogant. He smiled at Wang Sancai and said calmly: "I had already thought about it just now. I am willing to give up the opportunity of glory and wealth to Sun Daniu. Although it is a pity, I will not have to live in self-blame and regret for at least the rest of my life."
After hearing this, Wang Sancai nodded, and did not say anything to Fang Shiyu, but whispered to Mr. Hai: "Mr. Hai, let me speak with you."
After saying that, he turned around and walked a few steps, and walked to an open space where no one was around.
Mr. Hai immediately followed and came to Wang Sancai's side, but he took the initiative to laugh: "Mr. Wang, I like him. Do you want to tell me how to take him away?"
"I also like people like him who are affectionate and righteous." Wang Sancai smiled: "I don't know if Mr. Hai plans to take away all the bandits in this village?"
"Oh?" Mr. Hai was slightly stunned and instantly understood what Wang Sancai meant: "Mr. Wang means that if you want to accept Fang Shiyu, you must accept all his subordinates together?"
Wang Sancai nodded slightly: "Actually, I think that although they are all despicable bandits, with leaders like Fang Shiyu, the best thing is cohesion. Many of them have no value for cultivation, but at least, I think that many places should have their place to use."
Wang Sancai looked at Mr. Hai's face still a little puzzled, and continued: "For example, you can arrange some ordinary people's work for them, or organize them into a team of soldiers and guards, and for example, invest some money to give them the capital to start from scratch in the city, and then pay it back in full after making a profit... Of course, this depends on Mr. Hai's meaning."
"I understand Mr. Wang's painstaking efforts, but in fact..." Mr. Hai shook his head helplessly: "I don't have that much power, and I'm not sure the patriarch disagrees with the soldiers and guards formed by a group of bandits."
"Don't Uncle Zhuang believe in Mr. Hai's vision?" Wang Sancai asked back.
Mr. Hai shook his head and smiled: "A qualified subordinate will not bring even a little trouble to the loyal master until he does anything."
"I understand." Wang Sancai nodded, pondered for a moment before saying, "Let me take all these people away, they are all mine. If Uncle Zhuang doesn't want to incorporate them, then I will pay for them to have a place to settle in Feiliu City. How about it? If Uncle Zhuang doesn't want some unstable factors to be in the main city of the banker, there will be no problem with the towns on other territories of the banker."
"If you just live in the city, I think the patriarch will not refuse." Mr. Hai nodded first, but then said: "But isn't Mr. Wang afraid of the failure of investment? Investing in hundreds of people is a considerable amount of money!"
"What is the loss of something outside of one's body that can help someone worth helping?" Wang Sancai still smiled: "And, I have to take that old man Li away. Letting old man Li continue to live in the crowd he is familiar with is also a kind of compassion, isn't it?"
"Mr. Wang is really courageous!" Mr. Hai also smiled: "I also want to have the courage of Mr. Wang, but I am just someone else's subordinate and I can't make a decision."
"Okay, since Mr. Hai agrees, then don't waste time here. Maybe the Liang family will send someone to chase Xiaobai and me." Wang Sancai suppressed his smile and said seriously.
"I will do my best. I believe that the patriarch will definitely not give Mr. Wang this face." Mr. Hai also restrained his smile.
However, Wang Sancai shook his head and said, "I don't want Uncle Zhuang to make things difficult. If he really doesn't want to, I will have other ways to settle them. Okay, let's stop talking about it and do the serious business."
Mr. Hai was silent.
Fang Shiyu, not far away, kept staring at Wang Sancai and Mr. Hai in a strange way, feeling a little nervous about what would happen next. Seeing the two of them suddenly turning back to him, standing there hesitating whether they should meet him.
Just as he was hesitating, Wang Sancai had already come to him and said seriously: "Fang Shiyu, now I will give you two choices, you must consider it carefully."
Fang Shiyu didn't understand why, but she was shocked.
"First, continue to be your bandit leader, don't leave the place where you have devoted half of your life to it. Your future life will be the same as before, and there will be no change at all." Wang Sancai said lightly.
Fang Shiyu bit her lip and nodded slightly.
Wang Sancai immediately said in a stern voice: "Second, you, with all your subordinates, everyone in this cottage, give up the cottage you have built for several years and your position among other gangster forces. Let's go with me. You may become the guards of the big family, eat well and sleep well, but it is only possible..."
Speaking of this, he deliberately paused, looked at Fang Shiyu's gradually becoming excited, and continued: "Even if you can't become the guards of the big family, I promise you will have something to do and live a peaceful life of eating and sleeping, but all this requires you to be self-reliant...you can make a choice."
After hearing this, Fang Shiyu was stunned. He looked at Wang San for a long time and said in disbelief: "But, we are all bandits. Even if we go to the city, we will be arrested and imprisoned by the guards without identity."
"I promise you will be treated the same as ordinary people, or even higher." Wang Sancai looked at him seriously: "You will all have the status of civilians, not poor people."
Fang Shiyu was so excited that he couldn't express it. He even became a little incoherent when he looked at Wang Sancai: "Sir... why are you so kind to us bandits?"
"No, it's not for you bandits, but for you." Wang Sancai shook his head and pointed to the frightened old man Li correcting Fang Shiyu's concept: "Because you planted a seed of good thoughts two years ago, and today two years later, the seed of good thoughts have already bear fruit."
Wang Sancai's words were dull, but when they fell into Fang Shiyu's ears, they exploded in his heart like a thunder!!
He might have thought that Old Man Li might bring a turning point in his life, but since he found out that Old Man Li had a problem with his head, he no longer had a luxury. However, he never expected that what he had always expected had come here inadvertently!!
Fang Shiyu was excited and incoherent: "Sir... Sir!! Can I know your name?"
Wang Sancai looked at him excitedly and suddenly realized that helping others would really make him feel happy.
However, looking at Fang Shiyu's pious look and feeling relaxed by helping others, Wang Sancai suddenly had a small idea that was not a malicious spoof.
He straightened his back and made himself smile as kindly as possible. He said to Fang Shiyu with a hearty voice: "Hahaha, you can only experience true happiness if you do good deeds without leaving your name, so call me a red scarf!" (To be continued.
